A handful of search modes are offered that serve different use cases. The search mode can be set independently for the context menu and browser toolbar from the options page.

Search modes:

Select (context menu and toolbar): select an image on the page, then search for the image URL, whenever possible. Blob, data and file URLs will still be handled as image uploads. This is the default search mode.

Select & Upload (context menu and toolbar): select an image on the page, then fetch the image, possibly from the browser cache, and upload it. This search mode is preferred for sites which do not allow direct linking of images or are otherwise private.
